    I suppose there is a downside to this level of safety when chavs nick the car.
    I reckon you could sell that info to the Daily Express. Kerrrrching!!!

      Just goes to prove that being rich and thick aren't necessarily darwinian advantages.

      Just think, we'd have missed years & years of entertainment by the egyptian grocer going it that had happened.
      It's good commercial sense; sell big overpowered expensive cars to rich thick people, but load them up with safety equipment and build the chassis out of girders. When they smash the car up and survive, they'll be so grateful you've saved their lives that they'll come back and buy another one.

        It would be even better if a small % of them had dodgy brakes as well.

          Broke in through the passenger side window, no other access as doors are deadlocked.

          Gonna cost me £75 excess on the insurance for the window. Now I'm really f'ing angry.
          They should have used a tin opener - Fiat's are still made of tin foil, aren't they?

            The first car that I bought myself was a Fiat Uno Turbo IE. I was 19 and, predictably, I wrote it off.

            It concertina'd like papier mache.

              UPDATE, blood in the car

              UPDATE, there is some blood in the car, police are probably going to come out and take a sample.

              I really hope they get the little tulip.
